The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes far back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to a surge in recipe books, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
