The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` far back into history, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, these, early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans used many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as basil, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cooking, such as parsley and basil. These new foods and spices caused an eruption in manuscripts on food, most of which still exist in private libraries. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books are in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more free time and disposable income. |
