The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient chefs used many spices, including some familiar names for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an increase in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more spare time and disposable income. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
