The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` back into history, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the Romans used many spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, rue and asafoetida. Later, there are two interesting books published in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the East, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a surge in recipe books, many of which are now in private collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books were in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
