The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are a few clay 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 having made those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two recipe books published in the fourteenth century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of that time. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for an eruption in books on cookery, the majority of which are now in academic collections. When we get to the 1900s, cook books are starting to become popular due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
