The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes way back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes prompted an outbreak in books on cooking, most of which are now in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
