The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient 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 having made drinkers feel blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know like bay, rue and asafoetida. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were a couple of interesting books dating from the 1300s : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals served to the nobility of those days. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an eruption in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. The arrival of TV brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
