The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making 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 exhilarated. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals were split into starters, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the Roman chefs made use of many herbs, including some familiar names such as bay, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
