The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed way back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these early records were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are a few clay tablets in ancient 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 making anyone who drank it feel blissful. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something we still use today. He also informs us how the cooks of his times used a wide range of spices, including some familiar names like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two interesting recipe books which appeared in the 1300s - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the rich people of that time. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted an increase in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
