The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed way back into antiquity, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the early Romans made use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise such as bay, rue and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted a torrent in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. The TV revolution brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
