The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and afters, something we still use today. He also tells us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations led to an eruption in cookery books, most of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
