The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman cooks used a wide range of herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to a torrent in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
