The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, these, old cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman cooks made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a torrent in publications on food, many of which still exist in academic collections. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
