The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into antiquity, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for a surge in publications on food, many of which are now in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
