The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making 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 wonderful and blissful. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, rue and parsley. Closer to modern times, there were two recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are not about the indian food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich and powerful of the time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an increase in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery books are in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
