The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced far back into history, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, rue and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes caused an eruption in books on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private collections. The TV revolution gave 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 the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Canning Fresh Lima Beans (Shelled) recipe.
