The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes far back into history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
