The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like bay, mint and dill. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are some recipe books from the 14th Century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich people of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an eruption in recipe books, many of which are now in private libraries. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking books were in great demand, due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
