The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes led to a torrent in recipe books, some of which still exist in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Authentic Greek Lamb recipe.
