The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, in fact as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the Roman chefs used many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a torrent in books on cookery, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks are highly popular as a result of better eduction, people having increased spare time and disposable income. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
