The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the Romans used a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like thyme, rue and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an increase in books on cooking, most of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Kassler Ripschen & Sauerkraut recipe.
