The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes back into the far past, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these early records were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the chefs of Roman times made use of a wide range of spices, including many that are still in use today for example basil, mint and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for a surge in recipe publications, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Antipasto Hero recipe.
