The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found way back into history, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making 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 drank it feel wonderful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, rue and parsley. Moving on, there were two interesting books dating from the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and powerful of that time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an increase in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery publications were in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having increased spare time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
