The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, early recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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 exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as bay, mint and dill. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of books dating from the 14th Century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an eruption in recipe publications, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. The TV revolution gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
