The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes far back into the far past, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these old cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are some tablets in Sumerian which show 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 tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the ancient Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, fennel and parsley. Moving on, we have some books dating from the 1300s ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich and powerful of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices created a surge in recipe books, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are greatly in demand mostly due to more people being able to read, more spare time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
