The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including some familiar names for example basil, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to a torrent in recipe manuscripts, most of which are now in private libraries. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books are highly popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. The revolution that is television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
