The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, these, old records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some clay tablets in 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 having made people feel wonderful and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the holy land, including rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices prompted a torrent in books on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
