The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused a surge in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
