The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the chefs of Roman times made use of many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy land, such as rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations was responsible for a torrent in recipe manuscripts, many of which are now in private libraries. The revolution that is television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
