The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these early recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as basil, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, including basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an outbreak in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private libraries. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
