The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into ancient history, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 people feel `blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the Roman chefs used a good variety of spices, including a few you will know such as bay, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy land, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created a torrent in publications on food, most of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
