The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into history, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an outbreak in manuscripts on food, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
