The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making 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 tried it feel `wonderful`. During the time of the Roman Empire a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the Roman cooks used a good variety of spices, including some familiar names such as basil, mint and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of books which were published in the fourteenth century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the time. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused a surge in recipe books, most of which still exist in academic collections. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs 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, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
