The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman chefs used a good variety of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes caused a surge in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in private collections. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
