The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, early recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like basil, rue and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books are in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
