The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes back into history, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Romans made use of many aromatic flavours, including some familiar names like basil, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for a surge in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are now in private cookery archives. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Cinnamon Spiral Bread recipe.
