The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old records were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an outbreak in recipe publications, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
