The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the Romans used a wide range of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example bay, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices led to an increase in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private collections. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
