The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 tried it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient chefs used many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, rue and dill. Later, there were a couple of interesting recipe books from the 14th Century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals cooked for the nobility of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on food, many of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
