The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into antiquity, in fact as far as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 wonderful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and dill. As we move on, we have some recipe books which were published in the 1300s - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are not about the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs created a torrent in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The revolution that is television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
