The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these old recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `wonderful`. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the East, such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices created an eruption in publications on food, many of which are now in private libraries. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe books were increasing in popularity mostly due to increased literacy, more free time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
