The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into starters, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices was responsible for a torrent in cookery books, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
