The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked back into distant history, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few clay tablets in Sumerian describing 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`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many different spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an explosion in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books were increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
