The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 those who drank it feel `blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient Romans used a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. As we move on, there were a couple of books which appeared in the 1300s : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the upper classes. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created a torrent in recipe publications, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications were starting to become popular mostly as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
