The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into the distant past, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in 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 tried it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of his times used many different spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as bay, fennel and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the 14th Century : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the nobility of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an explosion in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and having more money to spend. The TV revolution brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
