The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into ancient history, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 those who drank it feel blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as basil, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more free time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
