The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the Romans made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the East, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices created an explosion in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
