The History of Recipes

We are able to trace the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and parsley.

Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an outbreak in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications were increasing in popularity as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and having more money.
