The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an explosion in books on cooking, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications were highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
