and combine with the grated corn. Mash the egg yolks and mix with the

The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes led to an increase in cookery books, some of which are now in private collections. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
