The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into starters, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans used a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an increase in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe books were in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. |
