The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like thyme, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the East, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an explosion in publications on food, some of which still exist in private collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe publications were highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
