The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the early Romans used many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy lands, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an increase in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications are in great demand, as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
