The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, generally, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient 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 having made those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Closer to modern times, we find two interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, many of which still exist in private collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
