The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` far back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these early recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the cooks of his times made use of many different spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an explosion in cookery books, some of which are kept safe in private collections. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
