The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as bay, rue and asafoetida. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books are greatly in demand as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and having more money. The introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
