The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, most of which still exist in private collections. The introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Nutmeg French Toast recipe.
