The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are a few 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 having made anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a surge in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
