The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes back into history, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many spices, including many that are still in use today such as bay, fennel and parsley. Later on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books published in the 1300s - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are not about the curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the upper classes of the period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the East, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an increase in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
