The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found far back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language 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 blissful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example basil, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an outbreak in publications on food, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are increasing in popularity mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
