The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes back into ancient history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, early records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example bay, rue and asafoetida. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
