The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman cooks made use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like basil, fennel and parsley. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted a surge in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The arrival of TV brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
