The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes far back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into starters, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know like basil, rue and parsley. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two recipe books from the fourteenth century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are not about the indian food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the nobility of that time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an increase in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, cooking books are highly popular due to better eduction, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
