The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into the far past, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a collection of 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient Romans made use of many different spices, including a few you will know like bay, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an increase in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books are in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and disposable income. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
