The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` way back into history, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, these, ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 drinkers feel blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including some that we all recognise like basil, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from the East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an increase in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in academic collections. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
