The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced way back into distant history, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as rosemary and coriander. These new spices and herbs led to an eruption in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
