The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the early Romans used many aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, mint and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted a surge in recipe books, the majority of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
