The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, old recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a torrent in publications on food, many of which are now in private cookery archives. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. The introduction of the TV brings us cooking 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, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
