The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, old recipes were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the Romans made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and dill. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are now in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
