The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman chefs used a wide range of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab cuisine, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an eruption in recipe books, some of which are now in private cookery archives. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
