The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced way back into the distant past, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few ancient 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 people feel blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as basil, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes created an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private libraries. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books are starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
