The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the ancient Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like thyme, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the East, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused an eruption in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
