The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are some clay tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient cooks made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a torrent in recipe manuscripts, most of which are now in academic collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications are in high demand, due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
