The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of clay 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 people feel exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of his times made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Moving on, there were a couple of interesting books from the 14th Century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of the period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations led to an eruption in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
