The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into distant history, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 people feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient cooks made use of many aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as bay, fennel and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two interesting books which appeared in the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menus of the upper classes. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused a surge in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more spare time and disposable income. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
