The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an increase in recipe books, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
