The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes back into the far past, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an eruption in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
