The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced back into the distant past, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the cooks of his times made use of many spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices led to an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, most of which still exist in private libraries. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and being a little richer. The arrival of television brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
