The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into history, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know such as bay, rue and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes created an explosion in recipe manuscripts, some of which still exist in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
