The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation 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 blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like bay, rue and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of books from the 1300s ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and powerful of that period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations was responsible for a surge in publications on food, many of which still exist in academic collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications are greatly in demand due to better eduction, increased leisure time and disposable income. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
