The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked back into the far past, at least as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old records were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 those who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the Romans used a good variety of spices, including many that are still in use today like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of books from the fourteenth century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are not about the curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the tables of the rich and powerful of that time. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
