The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 `blissful`. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an eruption in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private collections. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
