The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few 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 having made people feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy land, such as parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs prompted a surge in recipe publications, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
