The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into history, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 and exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like thyme, rue and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an explosion in recipe manuscripts, some of which are now in private libraries. The TV revolution gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
