The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation 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 `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main course and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and dill. As we move on, there were two interesting recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to a torrent in manuscripts on food, most of which still exist in academic collections. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
