The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into ancient history, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 people feel blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the ancient cooks made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private libraries. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books were highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
