The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found back into ancient history, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations caused an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, some of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
