The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making 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 exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the Roman chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like basil, mint and dill. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, some of which still exist in academic collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
