The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different herbs, including some that we all recognise such as bay, mint and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an outbreak in publications on food, the majority of which are now in private collections. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
