The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` back into the far past, certainly as far as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient cooks made use of many herbs, including a few you will know like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Closer to modern times, there are a couple of recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the nobility of the period. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an increase in recipe publications, the majority of which are now in private libraries. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books are highly popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
