The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into starters, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the Roman chefs used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as bay, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an outbreak in books on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private collections. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Cool Tropical Salad recipe.
