The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. However, these, ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Romans made use of many different spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like thyme, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an outbreak in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books are starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
