The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, generally, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are now in private libraries. The arrival of TV brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
