The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, mint and parsley. Moving on, we find two recipe books from the fourteenth century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of food cooked for the upper classes of that time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations created a surge in cookery books, the majority of which are now in private collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books are in great demand, due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more money. |
