The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, mint and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an increase in recipe books, some of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
