The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are a few tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius assembled some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today like bay, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an eruption in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
