The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into the far past, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some tablets in 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 anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an increase in publications on food, most of which are now in private collections. The introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
