The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show 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 blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the Roman cooks made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know such as bay, mint and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of recipe books dating from the 14th Century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are not about the curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the rich people of the period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an increase in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Boston Banana Cream Pie recipe.
