The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of his times used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations created an eruption in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private collections. The TV revolution brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
