The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed back into history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some stone 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices created a torrent in recipe books, many of which still exist in private libraries. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books were increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, more free time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
