The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel exhilarated. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as bay, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted a surge in recipe publications, most of which still exist in private collections. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books are increasing in popularity as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
