The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient cooks used many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs led to an outbreak in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
