The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, old recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, mint and asafoetida. As we move on, there are two interesting recipe books dating from the 1300s : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created an eruption in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications were starting to become popular due to increased literacy, leisure time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
