The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes way back into history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some 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 making people feel exhilarated and blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including some familiar names like bay, rue and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a surge in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications are in high demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
