The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 having made drinkers feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of many different herbs, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and parsley. Later, there were a couple of interesting books which date from the 1300s : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the nobility of the time. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
