The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, these, early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are some stone tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the Roman chefs used many different spices, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, mint and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two interesting books published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich and wealthy people of the time. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an eruption in books on cookery, many of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
