The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused a surge in recipe books, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
