The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian 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 making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, mint and parsley. As we move on, there are two books from the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals served to the nobility of that time. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, some of which still exist in private libraries. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books are starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
