The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like basil, fennel and parsley. Later, there were a couple of interesting recipe books published in the fourteenth century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of the period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for an eruption in books on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
