The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. He also recounts how the Roman cooks made use of many spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like thyme, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted a torrent in books on cooking, many of which are now in private collections. The TV revolution gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that 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 the ones you can find on this site. |
