The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking 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. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the early Romans made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, fennel and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find some recipe books from the 14th Century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the nobility of the time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted a torrent in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
