The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these old cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, rue and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an increase in books on cooking, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. |
