The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV 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 us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
