The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes back into the far past, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the early Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices led to an explosion in cookery books, some of which are now in private collections. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
