The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the early Romans made use of a good variety of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, rue and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the East, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a torrent in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
