The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are a couple of interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the tables of the upper classes of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an eruption in publications on food, most of which still exist in private collections. The arrival of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Kentucky Hot Brown Sandwich recipe.
