The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the early Romans made use of many different spices, including a few you will know like bay, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the East, including spices like parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes prompted an increase in publications on food, many of which still exist in private collections. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
