The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient 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 drinkers feel `blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the chefs of Roman times used a wide range of spices, including a few you will know such as bay, fennel and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the fourteenth century : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals cooked for the nobility of those days. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for a torrent in recipe publications, most of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
