The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old recipes were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something we still use today. He also tells us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as bay, fennel and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted a torrent in manuscripts on food, many of which still exist in private collections. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
