The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are a few tablets in Sumerian 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 drank it feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, mint and dill. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find some books published in the 14th Century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are unconnected to the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the upper classes of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an eruption in recipe manuscripts, some of which are now in academic collections. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The TV revolution gave us TV 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 everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
