The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced far back into the far past, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these early recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of Roman times used many spices, including a few you will know for example basil, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted a surge in publications on food, many of which still exist in private collections. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
