The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` far back into history, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of spices, including some familiar names for example basil, rue and parsley. Later on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 1300s ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the rich people of the period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are now in academic collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books were increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
