The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into starters, main course and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient chefs used many aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later, we find a couple of recipe books which date from the fourteenth century : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the East, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an increase in books on cookery, most of which are now in academic collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books were highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
