The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into history, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient cooks made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, rue and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an increase in recipe books, most of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
