The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few 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 making anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and dill. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an eruption in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books are highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
