The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to an increase in manuscripts on food, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
