The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the chefs of Roman times used many aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, mint and parsley. Later on, we have a couple of interesting cookery books which were published in the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals served to the nobility of that period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab countries, such as basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an outbreak in recipe publications, many of which still exist in private collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity as a result of more people being able to read, more free time and having more disposable income. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
