The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into distant history, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including some familiar names for example basil, fennel and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a torrent in recipe manuscripts, most of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Alaskan's Temptation recipe.
