The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found back into the far past, in truth as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are a few tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 drinkers feel `wonderful`. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Roman cooks made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the holy land, such as rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices prompted an increase in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
