The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the cooks of his times used many different aromatic flavours, including some familiar names like basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later, we have two books dating from the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the upper classes. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the East, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an eruption in recipe publications, the majority of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
