The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed far back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some tablets in Sumerian describing 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the ancient chefs made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are unconnected to the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an eruption in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
