The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of 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 those who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including many that are still in use today like bay, fennel and dill. As we move on, there are two interesting recipe books published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the rich and powerful of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from Arab countries, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an increase in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
