The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes back into history, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, these, ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few 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 making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the Roman chefs made use of many spices, including some familiar names such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which were published in the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful of that time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery books are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
