The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the Romans used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, mint and dill. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an increase in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
