The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes far back into antiquity, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including some familiar names for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an increase in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
