The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, rue and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted a surge in cookery books, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
