The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient cooks used a good variety of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today like thyme, fennel and dill. As we move on, we have some interesting books which were published in the 14th Century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the upper classes of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the East, such as parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices prompted a surge in publications on food, many of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
