The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into history, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts 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 making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, mint and dill. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices created a surge in recipe books, some of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
