The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making 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 tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the ancient chefs used many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example basil, mint and parsley. Later on, we find some interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an increase in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks were greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and disposable income. |
