The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian 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 people feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created a torrent in publications on food, most of which still exist in academic collections. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
