The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes far back into history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient chefs used many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example thyme, rue and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created a surge in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cook books are in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
