The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced far back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are now in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
