The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main course and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the Roman cooks used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
