The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found back into antiquity, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these old cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking 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 exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. He also describes how the Roman chefs used many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted a surge in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. When we get to the 20th century, cooking books were in high demand, as a result of better eduction, more free time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
