The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, generally, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, mint and asafoetida. As we move on, we find a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menus of the rich people of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices created a torrent in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and disposable income. |
