The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
