The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as bay, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from Arab countries, including parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs led to a torrent in recipe publications, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books were increasing in popularity as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
