The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an increase in manuscripts on cooking, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
