The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking 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 `blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as bay, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the East, such as basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations caused a surge in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
