The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many spices, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an outbreak in cookery books, most of which still exist in private libraries. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
