The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed way back into the distant past, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in 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 those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the Romans made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, fennel and dill. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were some books which were published in the 14th Century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are not about the curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an increase in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are now in private libraries. The TV revolution gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
