The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like basil, mint and dill. Later on, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the upper classes of the time. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices led to an explosion in manuscripts on food, most of which still exist in private collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books are increasing in popularity mostly due to increased literacy, leisure time and having more money. |
