The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing 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 those who drank it feel blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient chefs used a good variety of herbs, including some that we all recognise like basil, fennel and asafoetida. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like parsley and basil. These new foods and spices prompted a surge in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
