The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, rue and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including parsley and basil. These new foods and spices was responsible for an increase in books on cookery, the majority of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
