The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into history, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking 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 blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as bay, rue and asafoetida. Later on, we find two interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these have no connection with the curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an explosion in publications on food, the majority of which are now in private libraries. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications are in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
