The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found back into distant history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in Sumerian describing 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 those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, fennel and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to a torrent in recipe manuscripts, many of which are now in private cookery archives. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
