The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these ancient records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something we still use today. He also recounts how the cooks of his times made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an increase in manuscripts on cookery, most of which still exist in private collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications were starting to become popular mostly due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
