The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed back into distant history, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also recounts how the early Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like thyme, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to a surge in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
