The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like bay, mint and asafoetida. Later, we have some interesting books which appeared in the 1300s - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a torrent in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of television brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Bev's Green Bean Casserole recipe.
