The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed far back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 people feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, mint and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an increase in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
