The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including some familiar names like basil, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an explosion in books on cooking, most of which are now in private collections. The arrival of TV brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
