The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, mint and dill. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an eruption in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks are increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. |
