The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced way back into the far past, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are some stone tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused a torrent in books on cookery, some of which are now in private collections. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
