The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, these, early cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in ancient 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 having made those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the Romans used many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the East, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused a surge in recipe books, the majority of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
