The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked back into the distant past, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, old recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient Romans used a wide range of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations led to an increase in cookery books, some of which still exist in private collections. When we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were in great demand, due to better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money. |
