The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes far back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a series of 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 people feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like bay, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an increase in recipe books, many of which still exist in academic collections. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
