The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, these, early recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the Roman chefs made use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an explosion in books on cooking, most of which are now in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cook books are increasing in popularity due to better eduction, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
