The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into ancient history, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 `blissful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices created an increase in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were starting to become popular mostly due to better eduction, people having increased spare time and having more money. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
