The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in Sumerian 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 making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into starters, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, fennel and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an increase in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are now in academic collections. The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
