The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` way back into history, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many herbs, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and dill. Later on, we have a couple of books which appeared in the 14th Century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these have no connection with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted a surge in cookery books, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books were starting to become popular mostly due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chili Cilantro Dressing recipe.
