The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including some that we all recognise like basil, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an eruption in recipe books, some of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Apricot Dream recipe.
