The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into distant history, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation 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, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like basil, fennel and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two books which date from the 14th Century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books have no connection with the curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of that period. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an outbreak in publications on food, many of which still exist in academic collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications were starting to become popular mostly due to better eduction, people having more free time and disposable income. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
