The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found back into distant history, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, fennel and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are some books from the 1300s : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Apple Coleslaw recipe.
