The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes back into the far past, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, old records were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `wonderful`. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the Romans made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as bay, rue and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an outbreak in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
