The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation 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. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, we have two interesting cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these have no connection with the curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the upper classes of that time. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
