The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the making 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 exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as basil, rue and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an increase in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery books were highly popular as a result of better eduction, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
