The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of stone 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 having made those who drank it feel `wonderful`. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example basil, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new spices and herbs created an eruption in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
