The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes back into history, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many herbs, including some familiar names such as bay, rue and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from the holy land, such as parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations was responsible for a surge in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
