The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced way back into history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, rue and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab cuisine, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an increase in cookery books, many of which are now in private collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications are in great demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
