The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into antiquity, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. However, these, ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the cooks of his times made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books were starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
