The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes back into history, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes prompted a torrent in recipe books, the majority of which are now in academic collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications are greatly in demand due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
