The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example basil, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused an outbreak in recipe publications, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. The arrival of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
