The History of Recipes

Recipes as an idea can be tracked back into history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.

Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the cooks of his times used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like thyme, fennel and dill.

Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, such as parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes created an outbreak in cookery books, some of which are kept safe in academic collections.

When we get to the 20th century, cooking books were highly popular as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and being a little richer.
