The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these early cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as bay, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations was responsible for a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books were greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
