The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into distant history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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`. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and dill. As we move on, there are some books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the nobility of the time. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a surge in recipe books, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. The revolution that is 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 the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
