The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient records were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example thyme, fennel and dill. Moving on, we have two interesting recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menus of the nobility of that period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an explosion in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
