The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes was responsible for a torrent in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books are starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
