The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he tells us how the Roman chefs used a good variety of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted a torrent in manuscripts on food, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
