The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the ancient Romans made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know like bay, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books are greatly in demand as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and having more money. The arrival of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
