The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the cooks of Roman times used many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an eruption in recipe manuscripts, many of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Pad Thai (13) recipe.
