The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the ancient Romans made use of many spices, including a few you will know for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused a torrent in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
