The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, at least as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, these, old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of 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 having made anyone who tried it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an outbreak in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
