The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a series of 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 drinkers feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, mint and dill. Later, we have a couple of recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich and powerful of that time. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on food, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books are highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
