The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these early cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. He also recounts how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of herbs, including many that are still in use today for example bay, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an eruption in recipe manuscripts, most of which are now in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
