The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed way back into ancient history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an increase in cookery books, some of which are now in academic collections. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books were increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
