The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found way back into distant history, at least as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a series of 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 those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the early Romans used a good variety of herbs and spices, including some familiar names like basil, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an eruption in recipe books, some of which are now in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
