The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation 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 drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of his times used many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, mint and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created an increase in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications were highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
