The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed way back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which show 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 drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman cooks made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices prompted an increase in recipe manuscripts, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
