The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found way back into history, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an explosion in books on cooking, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
