The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, early recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in ancient 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 making drinkers feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the early Romans used many herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an increase in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private libraries. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery books are in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
