The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into ancient history, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, early cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of his times used many herbs, including a few you will know like basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for a torrent in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
