The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes way back into history, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, generally, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some clay tablets in Sumerian 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 tried it feel wonderful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient cooks used a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are now in private cookery archives. The revolution that is television gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
