The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in ancient 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 having made anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs created a surge in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in academic collections. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
