The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, early cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian 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 making anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, such as basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for a surge in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
