The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main course and dessert, something we still use today. He also describes how the early Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise for example basil, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created a torrent in recipe publications, most of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
