The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
