The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed way back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the early Romans made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy land, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted an outbreak in recipe books, the majority of which are now in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
