The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know for example thyme, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in private collections. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
