The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these old cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of 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 making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of Roman times used many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, mint and parsley. Later on, we find a couple of interesting books which were published in the 1300s : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are not about the indian food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the East, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an increase in publications on food, the majority of which are now in private collections. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
