The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, old records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are some stone 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 making people feel exhilarated. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the cooks of Roman times used many different spices, including some that we all recognise like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an increase in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
