The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found far back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of his times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an explosion in publications on food, some of which still exist in academic collections. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks were in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
