The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay 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 people feel wonderful. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of many herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, including parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices prompted an explosion in recipe publications, most of which are now in academic collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks are greatly in demand as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
