The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into the distant past, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as bay, fennel and parsley. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an eruption in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are greatly in demand mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
