The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into distant history, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, fennel and asafoetida. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
