The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient 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 having made drinkers feel blissful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the 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`. Aspicius also recounts how the early Romans used many different herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, rue and asafoetida. Closer to modern times, there are a couple of books dating from the 1300s ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of that time. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices created a torrent in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books were starting to become popular due to more people being able to read, increased leisure time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
