The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking 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 exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the ancient chefs made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and parsley. Moving on, there are some recipe books which were published in the 14th Century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the spicy food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of that period. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the East, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
