The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created an increase in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
