The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into antiquity, at least as far as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices caused a surge in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
