The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` back into distant history, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and dill. Later on, we have some recipe books dating from the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the nobility of the period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an eruption in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are now in private collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books were in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
