The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, mint and parsley. Later, we have two interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new foods and spices caused an eruption in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and having more money to spend. The arrival of television brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
