The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, generally, these old records were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some 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 people feel `blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few you will know like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to a torrent in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
