The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the Romans used many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
