The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, at least as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
