The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an increase in recipe publications, the majority of which are now in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
