The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these old records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the early Romans used many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, mint and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of that period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books were highly popular as a result of increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
