The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes far back into history, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, mostly, these old cookbooks were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the early Romans made use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, mint and parsley. As we move on, we have two recipe books dating from the 14th Century : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the upper classes of the time. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an eruption in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books are in great demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
