The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the early Romans made use of many different herbs, including some that we all recognise like basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes created an explosion in recipe books, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
