The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also recounts how the Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as bay, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted an eruption in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books are greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
