The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, rue and dill. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have some interesting books which appeared in the 1300s - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are not about the spicy food that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menus of the wealthy. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
