The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in ancient 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 having made anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two recipe books from the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared for the upper classes of the time. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created an outbreak in manuscripts on food, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking books are in great demand, due to increased literacy, leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
