The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices caused a torrent in publications on food, many of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
