The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, mint and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices created an explosion in recipe books, most of which are now in private libraries. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Anne's Strawberry Spinach Salad recipe.
