The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed way back into distant history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian 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 having made anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans used a wide range of herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two books which appeared in the 14th Century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich and powerful of the time. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for a surge in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
