The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the early Romans used many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as bay, fennel and dill. Later, there were a couple of interesting recipe books published in the 14th Century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an outbreak in books on cooking, some of which are now in academic collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery books were in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
