The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some tablets in Sumerian describing 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 `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, rue and parsley. Later, we find some recipe books published in the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful of those days. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy land, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an eruption in publications on food, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
