The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the Romans used a wide range of spices, including some familiar names like thyme, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an explosion in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books are starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
