The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and dill. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs caused a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
