The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of herbs, including many that are still in use today like thyme, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, most of which still exist in private collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books were greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and being a little richer. The arrival of television brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
