The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes back into history, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of his times made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes led to a torrent in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
