The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, at least as far as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of his times made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few you will know like bay, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an eruption in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of TV brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
