The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, 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 spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
