The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian describing 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 tried it feel wonderful. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted an eruption in recipe publications, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
