The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created a surge in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
