The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few 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 making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise such as basil, mint and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the East, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for a torrent in recipe books, many of which are now in private collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were in high demand, due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
