The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are some stone 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 having made those who drank it feel `blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans made use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise like thyme, rue and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were some recipe books dating from the 1300s ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared for the nobility of those days. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes led to a torrent in books on cookery, some of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
