The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, mostly, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into starters, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans used a wide range of herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an increase in books on cookery, most of which still exist in private collections. The TV revolution brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
