The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into the distant past, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like basil, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an outbreak in publications on food, most of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
