The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into distant history, at least as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some clay tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example basil, mint and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery publications were in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, more free time and having more money. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
