The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes far back into the far past, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation 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. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs led to a surge in manuscripts on food, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
