The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes back into history, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the early Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking books were greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
