The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the early Romans used many different aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the holy lands, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused an explosion in publications on food, most of which are now in private collections. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
