The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found way back into the distant past, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the early Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes led to an outbreak in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books are starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. |
