The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed way back into the distant past, at least as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 drinkers feel blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the Romans used many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and dill. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are some recipe books which appeared in the 1300s ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the spicy food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of those days. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices prompted an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private collections. The arrival of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
