The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also tells us how the early Romans made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for a torrent in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. The arrival of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
