The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 exhilarated. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the East, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an increase in books on cooking, some of which still exist in private libraries. The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
