The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation 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 and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a surge in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
