The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found way back into history, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names like basil, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from Arab countries, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an explosion in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
