The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes way back into history, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman cooks made use of many aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as basil, rue and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks are in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
