The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes far back into history, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian 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 making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes led to an outbreak in recipe publications, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books were in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
