The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into ancient history, at least as far into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, generally, these old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of ancient tablets in 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the chefs of Roman times made use of a wide range of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, rue and dill. Moving on, we have some recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the nobility of the period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
