The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of Roman times used many herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy land, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to a surge in books on cooking, the majority of which are now in private libraries. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery books were in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
