The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced back into distant history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman cooks made use of many herbs, including some that we all recognise for example basil, fennel and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of cookery books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the East, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an outbreak in recipe publications, many of which are now in academic collections. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that 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 the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
