The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed far back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and afters, something we still use today. He also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as bay, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for a torrent in manuscripts on food, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books are highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
