The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation 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 blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the holy lands, such as basil and coriander. These new foods and spices created an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
