The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed back into history, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `wonderful`. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, fennel and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two interesting recipe books dating from the 14th Century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an increase in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
