The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, these, early recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example basil, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy land, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a torrent in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books are increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, more free time and disposable income. |
