The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, at least as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. The revolution that is television brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
