The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the Romans made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private collections. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
