The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals were split into starters, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman cooks used many different aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an eruption in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in academic collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks were starting to become popular due to more people being able to read, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
