The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as bay, mint and parsley. Later on, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menus of the rich people of the time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the East, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an eruption in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are increasing in popularity mostly due to increased literacy, more free time and having more money to spend. |
