The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused a surge in books on cookery, most of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
