The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. However, in the main part, these old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel `wonderful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created a surge in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which still exist in private collections. The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
