The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the Romans used a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations was responsible for a torrent in manuscripts on food, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery publications were greatly in demand as a result of more people being able to read, leisure time and being a little richer. |
