The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes back into history, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are some tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made people feel blissful. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the early Romans made use of many herbs, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an outbreak in books on cooking, many of which are now in private collections. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, leisure time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
