The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy land, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices created a surge in recipe manuscripts, some of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
