The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes back into history, at least as far as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as bay, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes led to an explosion in books on cooking, some of which are now in academic collections. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Russian Baklaczan recipe.
