The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the ancient cooks used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names like thyme, rue and dill. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find some interesting books published in the fourteenth century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of that period. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an explosion in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
