The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, old records were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like thyme, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a surge in books on cooking, most of which are now in private collections. The arrival of TV gave us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
