The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as basil, mint and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the East, such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted a surge in books on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, more free time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
