The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient chefs used many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an explosion in recipe publications, most of which still exist in private libraries. The revolution that is television gave us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
