The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these early records were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 drank it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are some books which appeared in the 1300s - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared for the nobility of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an increase in cookery books, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, more free time and disposable income. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
