The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed way back into ancient history, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to academics are some tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, 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, including many that are still in use today like thyme, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in books on cooking, most of which are now in private libraries. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books were highly popular due to increased literacy, more leisure time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
