The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians are some clay tablets in 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 drinkers feel exhilarated. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example basil, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an eruption in publications on food, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Dietetic Peanuts recipe.
