The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation 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 tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations prompted an outbreak in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
