The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the early Romans used many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, mint and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of recipe books from the fourteenth century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are not about the curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of the period. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices prompted an increase in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
