The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into history, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are some books published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the upper classes of the time. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused a surge in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
