The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes far back into history, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius tells us how the Romans used a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, mint and dill. Later on, we find a couple of books which date from the 14th Century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are not about the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food served to the rich. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on food, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books were starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
