The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on, we find a couple of books from the 14th Century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an explosion in recipe books, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks are greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
