The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into ancient history, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an outbreak in cookery books, most of which still exist in academic collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books were in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. |
