The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed back into the distant past, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an increase in books on cooking, many of which are now in private libraries. The TV revolution brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
