The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` far back into history, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these early cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and coriander. These new foods and spices led to an eruption in recipe manuscripts, many of which are now in private collections. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
