The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, these, old cook books were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused a surge in books on cooking, some of which still exist in academic collections. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Arroz Con Leche De Coco recipe.
