The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs led to a surge in recipe books, some of which still exist in private collections. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
