The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation 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 tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the ancient Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, mint and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an outbreak in cookery books, most of which are now in private collections. The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
