The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the early Romans used many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from the East, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an increase in cookery books, most of which are now in private collections. The arrival of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
