The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, old cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient chefs made use of many herbs, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted an eruption in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
