The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these old cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the cooks of his times made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused a surge in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, cookery books were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and being a little richer. The TV revolution brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
