The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation 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`. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the Romans used a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for a surge in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
