The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient Romans used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, most of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
