The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced far back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `blissful`. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the East, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in academic collections. When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are highly popular due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money. The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
