The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes back into antiquity, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some 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 having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like bay, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an eruption in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
