The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient records were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics are some stone tablets in Sumerian 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 having made people feel `blissful`. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the ancient Romans used many herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of cookery books published in the 1300s ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of those days. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to a surge in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
