The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman cooks made use of many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes caused an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private collections. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
