The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into antiquity, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise like thyme, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from Arab cooking, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused an eruption in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in private libraries. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
