The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` back into the far past, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. However, these, early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to an eruption in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in private collections. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
