The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes far back into history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay 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 those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the Romans made use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, mint and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an explosion in cookery books, some of which are now in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
