The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found way back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these ancient records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation 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 drank it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and coriander. These new foods and spices prompted an explosion in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks were highly popular due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
