The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the chefs of Roman times used many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later on, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of the period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, many of which still exist in private collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications were in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
