The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient Romans used many different aromatic flavours, including a few you will know such as thyme, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a torrent in recipe publications, most of which still exist in academic collections. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
