The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes back into the far past, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including rosemary and coriander. These new spices and herbs led to an outbreak in publications on food, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Acapulco Sunrise recipe.
