The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these old records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the early Romans used many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an increase in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are now in private libraries. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
