The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient chefs made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, rue and asafoetida. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to a surge in recipe books, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
