The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes far back into the far past, at least as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old records were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient 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 making people feel blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient cooks made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example thyme, mint and parsley. As we move on, we find two interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks were in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
