The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient chefs used many aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which still exist in academic collections. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
