The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` far back into antiquity, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these old records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. He also recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy land, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an explosion in books on cookery, most of which still exist in academic collections. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
