The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes back into history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are some 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the ancient Romans used many different herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, rue and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of cookery books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the rich and powerful of the time. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
