The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. He also describes how the ancient Romans used many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a torrent in books on cookery, most of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
