The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into the distant past, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are some ancient tablets in 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 having made drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an explosion in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private collections. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
