The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs led to a torrent in recipe books, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
