The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the early Romans used a wide range of herbs, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an increase in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
