The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as bay, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an explosion in cookery books, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks are in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more money. The introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
