The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into antiquity, at least as far as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. He also tells us how the ancient chefs used a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an outbreak in books on cookery, most of which are now in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books are in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
