The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, early records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, fennel and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a torrent in manuscripts on food, many of which still exist in academic collections. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
