The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, early cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of clay 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. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including some familiar names like thyme, mint and dill. Later, we have a couple of books which date from the 14th Century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of the time. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an increase in manuscripts on cooking, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
