The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are some stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking 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. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, rue and dill. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from the East, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused a surge in publications on food, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
