The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are a few stone 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 making those who drank it feel exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the early Romans made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, mint and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were a couple of cookery books which date from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes created a surge in manuscripts on cooking, many of which still exist in academic collections. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications are highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. The TV revolution gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
