The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as bay, mint and parsley. Closer to modern times, we have some books dating from the fourteenth century : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are not about the indian curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the nobility of those days. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an increase in books on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
