The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few you will know like thyme, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to an eruption in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
