The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes back into history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the early Romans used many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs created an outbreak in manuscripts on food, some of which are now in academic collections. The TV revolution gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
