The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some stone tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote some documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example basil, rue and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the upper classes of that period. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes created an explosion in cookery books, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
