The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like basil, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are now in academic collections. The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
