The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian describing 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 drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. He also recounts how the ancient cooks made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
