The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like basil, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an eruption in books on cookery, many of which are now in academic collections. The TV revolution brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
