The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into the distant past, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are a few tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are two interesting recipe books which were published in the 1300s : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of that time. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from Arab countries, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused a torrent in books on cookery, some of which are now in private cookery archives. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books are starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, more spare time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
