The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the East, including spices like basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an outbreak in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private collections. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks 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, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
