The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in Sumerian describing 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 drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. He also describes how the chefs of Roman times made use of many herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the East, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an outbreak in recipe publications, many of which are now in academic collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks were highly popular as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The revolution that is television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
