The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into history, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation 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`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many spices, including many that are still in use today for example basil, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, such as parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in cookery books, the majority of which are now in academic collections. The TV revolution brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
