The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these early recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices created an eruption in recipe publications, many of which are now in academic collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks were in high demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
