The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient chefs made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices created a torrent in recipe manuscripts, some of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
