The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, in fact as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab countries, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted a torrent in recipe publications, some of which are now in academic collections. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
