The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, rue and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. The revolution that is television brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
