The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making 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 `blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and dill. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as basil and coriander. These new foods and spices led to a torrent in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
