The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced far back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, these, old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to academics are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 Romans a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. He also describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like basil, fennel and asafoetida. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were some recipe books published in the 14th Century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich people of that time. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes created an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in academic collections. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
