The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius assembled some documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as bay, rue and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs created a surge in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
