The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian 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 making anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, fennel and dill. Later, we find some recipe books which were published in the 14th Century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the East, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
