The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 drinkers feel wonderful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and parsley. Later on, there are some interesting books which appeared in the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich and powerful of that period. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices created an outbreak in books on cooking, some of which still exist in private collections. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
