The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the ancient cooks made use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, fennel and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are some interesting books which were published in the 1300s : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful of that time. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
