The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the chefs of Roman times used many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Later, there are two interesting cookery books dating from the 1300s ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are not about the indian food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich people of that time. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an increase in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe books are increasing in popularity due to more people being able to read, leisure time and disposable income. |
