The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of tablets in Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the chefs of Roman times made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some familiar names like basil, mint and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of cookery books which date from the 1300s ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the upper classes of that time. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes led to a torrent in books on cooking, most of which are now in private cookery archives. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
