The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into ancient history, at least as far as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient 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 making people feel blissful and exhilarated. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an outbreak in publications on food, many of which are now in private collections. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
