The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient Romans used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an explosion in recipe books, many of which are now in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
