The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans used many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. As we move on, we have a couple of recipe books published in the 1300s ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes of the time. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the holy land, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes created an eruption in books on cooking, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks 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 everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
