The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel `blissful`. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know such as thyme, mint and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are a couple of interesting books published in the 14th Century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the holy lands, such as rosemary and coriander. These new spices and herbs caused an outbreak in books on cooking, many of which still exist in private libraries. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
