The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into the distant past, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians 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 those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of many spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted a torrent in books on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
