The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes back into the far past, at least as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just very basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an explosion in books on cookery, many of which are now in academic collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and having more money to spend. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
