The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some clay 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 drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient cooks used a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices prompted an outbreak in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe books are increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
