The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed way back into the distant past, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, old recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the cooks of his times made use of many different herbs, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the holy land, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are now in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
