The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, rue and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an explosion in recipe manuscripts, many of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
