The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes way back into history, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and parsley. Later on, there were a couple of interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created an outbreak in cookery books, the majority of which are now in private collections. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
