The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into distant history, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in Sumerian which show 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 blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of spices, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an increase in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are now in academic collections. The TV revolution gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
