The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed far back into ancient history, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, mostly, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. He also recounts how the ancient Romans used many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an explosion in recipe books, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
