The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many herbs, including some familiar names like basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes created an eruption in recipe manuscripts, many of which are now in academic collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
