The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, in the main part, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are a few tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 drank it feel blissful. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like basil, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an explosion in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private collections. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books were highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
