The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times made use of many different aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to a surge in cookery books, the majority of which are now in private collections. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
