The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes far back into distant history, at least as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are some tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 drinkers feel `wonderful`. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices created a torrent in publications on food, many of which are now in private collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
