The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked back into antiquity, at least as far as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, rue and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused a surge in books on cooking, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
