The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed back into the distant past, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in ancient 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 making drinkers feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman cooks used many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices caused a torrent in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
