The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection of 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 having made anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the Romans made use of many different spices and herbs, including some familiar names for example thyme, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for a surge in publications on food, some of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
