The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many different herbs, including some that we all recognise like thyme, fennel and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of interesting books from the fourteenth century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the tables of the rich and powerful of that time. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices caused an outbreak in publications on food, many of which still exist in private libraries. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications were in great demand, due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
