The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, early records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 those who drank it feel blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today like thyme, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an eruption in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. The introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
