The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found back into the distant past, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, old records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the early Romans used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know like basil, rue and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are a couple of cookery books which date from the 14th Century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared for the wealthy. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused a torrent in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. The TV revolution brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
