The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions far back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an explosion in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. The revolution that is television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
