The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking 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. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the ancient cooks used a good variety of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created a torrent in books on cooking, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
