The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into the far past, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations prompted a torrent in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
