The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in 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 drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some familiar names such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were two books dating from the 1300s - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food cooked for the rich and powerful of those days. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in manuscripts on food, some of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
