The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed way back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in 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 making those who drank it feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an explosion in cookery books, some of which are now in private collections. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books are in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
