The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the distant past, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know like thyme, fennel and parsley. Moving on, there are two books published in the fourteenth century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of the period. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an eruption in recipe books, some of which are now in academic collections. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books are starting to become popular as a result of increased literacy, people having increased free time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
