The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes far back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, mint and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted a surge in manuscripts on food, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
