The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans used a good variety of spices, including some that we all recognise for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, there were some interesting books which date from the fourteenth century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are not about the curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the nobility of that period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to an increase in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
