The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` back into history, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. He also tells us how the Roman cooks made use of many different herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to a surge in publications on food, many of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
