The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these early cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the Romans used many different spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like basil, mint and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations was responsible for a torrent in cookery books, some of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
