The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes far back into history, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the Romans made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example bay, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes created a torrent in recipe publications, some of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books were greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
