The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes way back into distant history, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the Romans made use of a good variety of herbs, including many that are still in use today such as bay, rue and parsley. Later on, there were two interesting books published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of food cooked for the rich and powerful of that period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an increase in recipe publications, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications were in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
