The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some 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 having made anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman chefs used a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know like bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices led to a torrent in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books were in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, more free time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Maryland Lady Crab Cakes recipe.
