The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient chefs made use of many different spices, including a few you will know for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes led to an eruption in cookery books, most of which are now in private collections. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
