The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of many herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, rue and parsley. As we move on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the wealthy. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, most of which still exist in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks are increasing in popularity as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and disposable income. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
