The History of Recipes
We can track the history of meal recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also recounts how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like bay, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes led to an explosion in recipe publications, many of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
