The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are some clay 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 making drinkers feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the early Romans made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes led to an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. The arrival of television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
