The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused a surge in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
