The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 drinkers feel `blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by the Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the ancient Romans used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, rue and parsley. Later on, we have two books which date from the fourteenth century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of those days. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to a torrent in books on cooking, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are starting to become popular mostly due to better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
