The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old records were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in 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 having made anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names such as bay, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an eruption in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
