The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes way back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in ancient 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 drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an outbreak in publications on food, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications were in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
