The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes far back into history, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian describing 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 exhilarated and blissful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created some documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Roman chefs used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from the holy lands, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are now in private collections. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are starting to become popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
