The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced back into antiquity, in truth as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices created a torrent in books on cookery, some of which are now in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
