The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes back into history, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of his times made use of many different spices, including many that are still in use today for example basil, rue and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are some recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food served to the rich and wealthy people of that time. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an explosion in recipe publications, some of which are now in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
