The History of Recipes
We can track the history of meal recipes way back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, these, early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including many that are still in use today for example basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an explosion in books on cooking, the majority of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
