The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a series of ancient 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 having made drinkers feel exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, rue and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to an explosion in recipe books, most of which are now in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
