The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations led to an explosion in recipe books, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe publications were highly popular due to more people being able to read, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
