The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` way back into history, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, in the main part, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of stone 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 having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few you will know for example basil, mint and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an increase in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books are in great demand, due to better eduction, leisure time and having more money to spend. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
