The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` back into history, at least as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a surge in recipe publications, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are in high demand, due to better eduction, people having more free time and disposable income. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
