The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found far back into the far past, at least as far as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few tablets in Sumerian which show 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 `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations created a surge in books on cooking, some of which are now in private collections. The revolution that is television gave us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
