The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in 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 making anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an eruption in manuscripts on food, some of which still exist in academic collections. The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
