The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. He also informs us how the early Romans made use of a good variety of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices like parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices prompted a surge in recipe publications, most of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Blue Ribbon Apple Pie recipe.
