The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these old records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of his times used a good variety of herbs and spices, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
