The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into history, certainly as far as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 those who drank it feel `blissful`. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes led to an increase in books on cookery, most of which are now in private libraries. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
