The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are some tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations prompted an increase in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
