The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, rue and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of cookery books which appeared in the 1300s : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of those days. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices created a torrent in recipe books, some of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
