The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of 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 anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the ancient chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted an explosion in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
