The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these early recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including some familiar names like basil, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an increase in cookery books, most of which are now in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery books were highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more money. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
