The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 `wonderful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, most of which still exist in academic collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. The arrival of television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
