The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into history, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of his times used many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, rue and asafoetida. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an eruption in publications on food, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
