The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the Roman cooks used many aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example basil, rue and dill. Later, we find some books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created an increase in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
