The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed way back into history, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these old records were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from Arab countries, including basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted an increase in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. The revolution that is television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
