The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in ancient 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 making anyone who drank it feel wonderful. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the cooks of Roman times used many spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as bay, mint and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two interesting recipe books published in the 14th Century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of the period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
