The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of ancient 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 anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are now in private libraries. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery books are starting to become popular due to more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
