The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions far back into distant history, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, ancient records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient cooks made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and dill. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an explosion in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
