The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed far back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 making anyone who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including some that we all recognise like thyme, rue and asafoetida. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices prompted a surge in books on cookery, some of which still exist in academic collections. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
