The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` far back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some 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 making anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to a surge in cookery books, some of which are now in academic collections. The revolution that is television gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
