The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes back into the far past, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old recipes were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of 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 having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the chefs of Roman times used many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an explosion in publications on food, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications are in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
