The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed way back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are some stone tablets in 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient Romans used many different herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, such as basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes prompted a surge in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The TV revolution gave us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
