The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including many that are still in use today like basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an increase in publications on food, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. The revolution that is television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
