The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes back into history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient tablets in 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 having made those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of Roman times used many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know like basil, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes caused an increase in publications on food, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications are highly popular as a result of better eduction, more free time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
