The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes back into the far past, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation 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 exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as thyme, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, many of which still exist in private collections. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
