The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes way back into history, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation 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 drank it feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted a surge in cookery books, many of which are now in academic collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
