The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes back into history, at least as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 people feel exhilarated. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example basil, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices led to a surge in books on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
