The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into the far past, in fact as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today like basil, rue and asafoetida. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for a surge in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
