The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` back into the far past, at least as far as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient chefs made use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
