The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 `blissful`. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, rue and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two interesting recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared for the upper classes of that period. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to an eruption in publications on food, many of which are now in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
