The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are some clay 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 having made anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as bay, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an eruption in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private libraries. The arrival of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
