The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making 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 tried it feel blissful. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient cooks made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Closer to modern times, there are some recipe books from the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the rich and wealthy people of those days. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an explosion in recipe books, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications were in great demand, due to more people being able to read, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
