The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into starters, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an explosion in publications on food, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
