The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these early records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the Romans used a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know for example bay, mint and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an outbreak in books on cooking, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
