The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as bay, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to an increase in recipe books, most of which still exist in academic collections. The revolution that is television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
We hope you enjoy this Chipotle Brown Ale recipe.
