The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the ancient chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and dill. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to a torrent in recipe books, some of which still exist in private collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books are increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
