The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the chefs of Roman times used many herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted a surge in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books were in great demand, due to better eduction, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
