The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these ancient records were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef tells us how the chefs of Roman times used many different herbs, including a few you will know like basil, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations prompted an explosion in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
