The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` back into history, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of Roman times used many aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the East, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted a surge in recipe manuscripts, some of which still exist in academic collections. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
