The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as basil, rue and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find two books dating from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books have no connection with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich and powerful of the period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes caused an explosion in cookery books, most of which are now in private collections. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
