The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced way back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts are some 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 having made people feel wonderful and blissful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an eruption in books on cooking, most of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
