The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation 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. During the time of the Roman Empire a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the early Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example thyme, rue and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of books from the 14th Century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of that time. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for a surge in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
