The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, early records were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the early Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an outbreak in publications on food, many of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books are in high demand, due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that 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 sites such as this. |
