The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes way back into the far past, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an increase in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
