The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of many spices, including a few you will know for example bay, mint and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. The revolution that is television brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Caribbean Christmas Ring recipe.
