The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example bay, rue and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of interesting books from the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals cooked for the rich and powerful of the time. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an outbreak in recipe books, most of which still exist in private collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books are in great demand, due to better eduction, more spare time and being a little richer. The introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
