The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these old records were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the ancient chefs made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as thyme, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused an eruption in recipe publications, most of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
