The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some clay tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman cooks made use of many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, mint and parsley. Later on, there were two interesting recipe books which were published in the 1300s : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful of that period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted a surge in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books were starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
