The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these early cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 those who drank it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes caused an increase in books on cooking, many of which still exist in private libraries. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe books were starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
