The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the East, such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to a torrent in recipe books, most of which are now in academic collections. The TV revolution 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, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
