The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into history, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient Romans used a wide range of spices, including some familiar names such as thyme, mint and dill. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an explosion in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books were in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
