The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the chefs of Roman times used a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few you will know like thyme, rue and parsley. Closer to modern times, there were two interesting cookery books from the 14th Century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the tables of the upper classes of those days. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes created an eruption in books on cookery, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery books are increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
