The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these early cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient chefs made use of many spices, including a few you will know like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices created a surge in manuscripts on food, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking books were greatly in demand due to increased literacy, leisure time and having more money. |
