The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient chefs used a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from the East, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an eruption in recipe manuscripts, some of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
