The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into history, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money. |
