The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in academic collections. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
