The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few clay tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 people feel wonderful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the chefs of Roman times used many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an explosion in recipe books, many of which are now in private libraries. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books were highly popular mostly due to better eduction, people having more spare time and having more money. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
