The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes way back into the far past, at least as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are some tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some familiar names for example thyme, fennel and dill. Closer to modern times, we have two interesting books dating from the 14th Century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books have no connection with the spicy food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich people of that period. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices created an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books are in high demand, due to better eduction, people having more free time and disposable income. |
