The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed far back into the far past, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are a few tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans used many aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like bay, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the holy land, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an eruption in recipe publications, most of which still exist in academic collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications were increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money. The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
