The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including rosemary and coriander. These new spices and herbs prompted a surge in recipe publications, many of which are now in academic collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books are highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. |
