The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` back into history, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these ancient records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a series of clay 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 making people feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient cooks used many different spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example bay, mint and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an eruption in cookery books, many of which are now in academic collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books were in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
