The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient chefs used many herbs, including some familiar names such as basil, mint and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an increase in publications on food, many of which still exist in private collections. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks 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 the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Russian Tea #1 recipe.
