The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into the distant past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an explosion in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe books are highly popular as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
