The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes back into the far past, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created a number of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient chefs used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like thyme, rue and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused an explosion in publications on food, some of which are now in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications were starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
