The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are now in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
