The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into the far past, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `blissful`. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient cooks used many different herbs and spices, including some familiar names like bay, mint and parsley. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find two interesting books which date from the 14th Century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich people of that period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the East, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are now in private cookery archives. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
