The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans used a wide range of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created a surge in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are now in private collections. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
