The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed far back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an explosion in books on cookery, most of which are now in private libraries. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
