The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman chefs made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as basil, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which still exist in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
