The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. He also recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few you will know for example basil, rue and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in publications on food, most of which are kept safe in private collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking books are greatly in demand due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
