The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the ancient Romans used a wide range of spices and herbs, including some familiar names for example thyme, rue and dill. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted an eruption in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
