The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found way back into history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these early recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making 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 exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the cooks of his times used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations led to a torrent in books on cookery, most of which still exist in private libraries. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications are starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
