The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into history, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of spices, including some familiar names such as bay, rue and parsley. Moving on, we find a couple of recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich and powerful of that time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an increase in recipe books, some of which are now in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Kisses recipe.
