The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into history, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing 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 and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, rue and parsley. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of recipe books dating from the 1300s - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food eaten by the nobility of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs created a surge in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. When we get to the 20th century, cook books were highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and disposable income. The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
