The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed far back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an outbreak in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
