The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some 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 those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as thyme, fennel and dill. Moving on, there are two interesting recipe books from the 1300s : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food eaten by the upper classes of that period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an outbreak in cookery books, most of which still exist in private libraries. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off 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 sites such as this. |
We hope you enjoy this Anne Marie's Blueberry Glace' Pie recipe.
