The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans made use of many different spices, including many that are still in use today like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
