The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found far back into antiquity, in fact as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, old recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few 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 anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of his times used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find some interesting books dating from the 14th Century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the rich people of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the East, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an increase in manuscripts on cookery, some of which still exist in private collections. When we get to the 20th century, cook books are greatly in demand due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
