The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in 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 making anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an increase in publications on food, many of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
