The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed far back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of spices, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an increase in manuscripts on food, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
