The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 wonderful. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman chefs made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have some books which date from the 1300s - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the nobility of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the East, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an outbreak in recipe books, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, more free time and having more money to spend. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
