The History of Recipes

We can read the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.

Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many spices, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and parsley.

Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a surge in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are now in private collections.

The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site.
