The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into ancient history, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 `blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and dill. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have some interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of the period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted an increase in publications on food, most of which still exist in academic collections. When we get to the 1900s, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
