The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel blissful and exhilarated. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius created some documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into starters, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many herbs, including some that we all recognise like basil, rue and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices led to a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
