The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into ancient history, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking 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 `wonderful`. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans made use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example basil, mint and asafoetida. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were two recipe books dating from the 1300s ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of the time. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused a surge in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books were in great demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
