The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced back into distant history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, these, early recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking 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`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the early Romans used a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as basil, mint and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two books which were published in the fourteenth century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the upper classes of the period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an eruption in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are now in private collections. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
