The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient Romans used many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created a torrent in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
