The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of ancient 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 exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes created an outbreak in recipe books, many of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
