The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into the far past, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the cooks of Roman times used many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy land, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes prompted an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and being a little richer. The TV revolution gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
