The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed back into history, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language 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 people feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman cooks used a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from the holy land, such as rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices caused an explosion in publications on food, most of which still exist in academic collections. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications are in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, more free time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
