The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 drank it feel blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius wrote some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like thyme, rue and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes led to a torrent in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books are greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
