The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many spices, including some familiar names such as bay, mint and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes prompted an eruption in publications on food, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books were increasing in popularity mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
