The History of Recipes
We can track the history of meal recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, some of which still exist in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
