The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced far back into distant history, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient Romans used many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused a torrent in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. The TV revolution gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
