The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an eruption in recipe books, some of which are now in private libraries. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe publications are highly popular mostly due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
