The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 drinkers feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into starters, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs used many different herbs, including some familiar names like bay, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Apricot Burritos recipe.
