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 the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of his times used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused a surge in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks were in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more disposable income. |
