The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, old records were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are a few tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making 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 wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of his times used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as bay, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an eruption in books on cooking, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. The introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
