The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the chefs of Roman times used a wide range of spices and herbs, including some familiar names for example basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused a torrent in recipe manuscripts, some of which are now in private collections. The arrival of television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
