The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, these, old cookbooks were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel `blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Roman cooks made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an explosion in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks were in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
