The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel wonderful. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the chefs of Roman times used many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, rue and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of cookery books published in the 1300s - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of that period. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices caused an eruption in books on cooking, many of which still exist in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
