The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
