The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions far back into the far past, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of stone 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`. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, rue and dill. As we move on, we have a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 14th Century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food cooked for the upper classes of the time. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to a torrent in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
