The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian which show 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the chefs of Roman times used many herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, rue and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an explosion in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books are increasing in popularity mostly due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
