The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` back into distant history, at least as far as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an explosion in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
