The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. However, these, old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the Romans made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an eruption in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
