The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the early Romans made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
