The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the ancient chefs used many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example thyme, rue and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes created an explosion in publications on food, most of which are now in private cookery archives. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
