The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as basil, mint and dill. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created a surge in books on cooking, many of which are now in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
