The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into ancient history, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which show 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`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of herbs, including some familiar names like bay, rue and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two recipe books dating from the 1300s - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are not about the spicy food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich and wealthy people of that time. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted a torrent in cookery books, many of which are now in private collections. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Kale Sandwich recipe.
