The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation 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 and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the Romans used many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in private libraries. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
