The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the early Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations prompted an explosion in books on cooking, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Mulled Cranberry Brew recipe.
