The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into antiquity, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
