The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes far back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian 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 drinkers feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many different spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
